Yeah, it's like he's trying to be objective, but then the little demon inside takes over...
-
In fairness, we're usually talking luxury tax numbers these days. I interpreted your number the same way Jax did.
-
Yeah I think that was an honest (though strange) mistake by infrequent poster VJCPatriot.
-
Agreed, they are going below $208.
-
There would be some angst, with scribes and message board wizards pointing out that he threw 249 innings last year and 462 innings the last 2 years-massive totals by today's standards-and suggesting it may have caught up to him.
-
We have you and Slasher here to batter them, so it's all good.
-
Joel and the other New York Post boys will be the first ones to lose their minds if Gerrit Cole gets off to a shaky start in the Apple.
-
And he pitched 202 high-quality innings in 2018, postseason included. Funny how the window you choose changes everything.
-
I guarantee that isn't the plan.

Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Here's the analysis Alex Speier did showing how the Red Sox could save $100 million over the next 3 years by re-setting. That number includes $38.5 million in reduced payroll for 2020. The $243.5 number represents the 2019 payroll number for tax purposes. If the Red Sox don't reset*(assumes $212 million luxury tax threshold in 2022). Year Payroll Luxury tax Revenue sharing rebate penalty Total 2020 243.5 19.61 6 269.11 2021 243.5 18.61 9 271.11 2022 243.5 17.61 12 273.11 Total 730.5 55.83 27 813.33 If the Red Sox do reset Year Payroll Luxury tax Revenue sharing rebate penalty Total 2020 205 0 0 205 2021 243.5 8.32 0 251.82 2022 243.5 10.83 3 257.33 Total 692 19.15 3 714.15 -
I'd say teams that have a good shot at the playoffs the next couple of years and some payroll room would be more interested in Price.
-
Fun facts: 1) This is more than double (admittedly not much more than double) the $161 million contract the Yankees gave Sabathia before the 2009 season. 2) It's almost as much as the combined $345 million contracts the Yankees gave Teixeira and Sabathia before the 2009 season.
-
You're wrong, so it's a moot point. Archer's deal was 6/25.5 2014-2019, plus a 9 million team option for 2020. AAV of 9 million for 2020.
-
9 mill + Groome is not cheap, though.
-
Archer's salary/AAV is 9 million. Might as well sign Porcello and hang onto Groome, no?
-
Bloom has his hands full replacing Price and Porcello alright, especially with the likes of Kevin Gausman commanding 10 mill.
-
We have no idea what the offers were last year. Maybe another team offer 3 * 17...who knows. The Sox seem focused on trading Price. If they succeed I assume they're keeping Eovaldi.
-
I think a team would pay him $18 * 3. That's 60% which is what the current buzz seems to be.
-
Did we not agree that other teams were in on Eovaldi too? And I think it's pretty obvious the way Eovaldi pitched in the 2018 postseason had a lot to do with his perceived value.
-
That's a given.

Yankees now the favorite for the 2020 World Series
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Other Baseball
Is this the new version of the Yankees Season Thread? -
Nobody knows what his plans are. We know one thing, his decision to wait it out until free agency is probably going to put at least $100 million more in his pocket.
-
Wrong.
-
Price for 3 years at 18 per looks pretty reasonably priced right about now.
-
If that really is the plan I'm fine with it.
